Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Brazilian
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mixed seeds (sesame, poppy, etc.)
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the cheese bread from sticking.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat once warmed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour and salt. Stir together to ensure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Once the milk and oil mixture has cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the tapioca flour and salt. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. It will be sticky and somewhat elastic.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mixed seeds to the dough. Gently fold them in until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each roll to allow for expansion during baking.
- Sprinkle a few additional seeds on top of each roll for added texture and flavor, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed up and lightly golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the cheese bread from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your freshly baked seeded cheddar Brazilian cheese bread warm, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - a slightly sticky consistency is exactly what you want.
- For extra cheesy goodness, use freshly grated cheddar instead of pre-shredded cheese.
- Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking to achieve that perfect golden exterior.
- If the dough feels too wet, let it rest for a few minutes to allow the tapioca flour to absorb moisture.
- Experiment with different seed combinations to find your perfect mix.
- These rolls are best served warm, but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all your ingredients are certified gluten-free.
